If you are interesting in seeing a brewery being built from the ground up, the Goliad Brewing Company facebook page is showing how they are doing it with photos of the construction.

If you are looking for food safe matierials, then simply go with SS for everything in your tun. Then make sure all your penitrations to your tun are sanitary welded to help ensure there are no cracks for bacteria to hide in. Personally, I would never use PVC for anything in the brewing...

As I understand passivation - It does not bring out or forward nickel to the surface. Stainless has chromium that helps inhibit the rusting. Passivation is the creation of a thin oxidized layer that prevents oxygen from contacting the iron on the surface of the stainless. Passivation usally...

Good job V twin, You got the three points of contact idea. Your rig is similar in concept to mine but my set up has machined dies specced @ 1/2" and a drive mechanic.

Not sure how much he is going to use, we just thought 25' would have fit better. Forcabrew, what is the distance between your inlet and outlet?

FYI, Dover97 lives close to the house and he came over to have his coil made. After we finished his coil we put it in his Keggle that he had brought with him. He had an electric set up with the heating element already installed. This raised his coupling penetration height on his keggle...

I have alot of guys asking for me to bend thier SS coils, and I have a hand written list of them. This is becoming a larger project that I first anticipated and I am in the process of setting up a way to handle requests better. I don't mind the Pm's just understand that the way I am doing it...

To "properly" take advantage of a PID loop to the application you are talking about you will need a modulating valve to give you a varying orfice for the gas to flow through. The valves are not cheap. The pricing for most of these I have worked with are way out of the budget for most home...

Good luck AkThor! I hope you find some Good Brisket to Smoke!

Got home from work, 40 minutes to set up (finding tools), 20-30 minutes to coil, then 10 minutes to clean up. Fair to say 1 to 1.5 hours.

Nice winters, but hot as Hades in the summer!

Talking with Akthor on the phone, he told me that his fitting from the side of the keg to the center of his 90 degree fitting was 2 1/2". I made his coil as close to 10" as I could to hopefully center his coil in the keg. ( 2.5 x 2 = 5" less the 15 keg ID = 10" or there about)
